If possible, it has even done better than ever before, and favorable reports come from all directions. In the report of the Ohio State Horricultural Society, W. J. Green, of the State Experiment Station, says: " Kansas is a promising black-cap, about as large as Gregg; earlier and of better color. It probably excels any of the medium early varieties in size.
